What?!? :help:

Hold up - caffeine HELPS migraines, you know that right?

Headache medicine is what - acetominophen.
Migraine medicine is (drum roll) - acetominophen plus caffeine.

Oddly enough, I've found that Tylenol does nothing for headaches when I get them, and Tylenol Migraine works like a charm.

It has to do with something about Caffeine temporarily relaxing or widening the arteries or something like that. I'm not a doctor.

And I love energy drinks, but I've never noticed any effect from them (and I drink the big 16 ouncers) other than I simply feel - just alert and awake, like I should.

Oddly enough, I am almost caffeine sensitive with coffee - any more than one cup in a day, and I'm up until 2am. If I drink two in a row, my hands shake and I get anxious and stressed out for no reason.
When I drink energy drinks when I am tired though, I find myself simply restored - alert, awake, and most important - motivated to work!

I have heard of reviews where they just claim these things are just over-caffeinated sodas, but based on my experience, that ginseng or taurine or something must be working WITH the caffeine, because delivered in that form, for me, it does what it's supposed to.

But I've sure never had any reaction like what you had...
Are you sure you aren't allergic to one of the ingredients or something? What you describe sounds like a drug trip or something.

Maybe, but those are like $2 a can.

I have a Big Lots store near me, and they sell all kinds of cool off-brand juices, nectars, and drinks... and they always have some rotation of energy drink for cheap. Im not picky on brand name, I think it's fun to try new ones. Sometimes they are better, sometimes worse, but I haven't had any bad ones yet.

And, I bought a case of 24 of them for $6. Do the math. I've actually bought two cases total, by now.
Cool-ass looking cans too - "Von Dutch" brand energy drinks. no kidding.
Not the best I've ever had, but there's some cool factor there.

Addition:
Hahaha! There's a Wikipedia entry for Von Dutch Energy Drinks!

That's funny...

Them stupid Yellow Jacket pills when I was younger I took them A LOT! Any brand name just remember yellow jackets. Anyways one night I took like maybe an entire bottle (throughout the night) I had been awake I think 3/4 days straight and all of a sudden i got dizzy. I was at work, I went and laid down in the drive-thru because my boss told me as long as someone was in drive-thru I had to work. So I fixed that :) . We shut down for like 3-4 hrs while the world was spinning then I went home. Yea after that I quit taking them speed pills.

Only energy drink I have tried was Monster and there ok. Redbull has become an alcoholic drink to me instead of energy so I don't count that.

Found this website, haven't really checked it out just found it

i'd rather spend $30 for a 24 pack of redbull.. i donno why but i just lilke the stuff..

my co-workers tell me its cocaine in a can.. oh well.. its cheaper and alot more legal than coke.

althouhg... people keep thinking i'm drinking beer... i had someone tell me they thought i was driving through my neighborhood drinking beer. a few months ago i was standing in the parking lot at work drinking one and my boss thought she was going to have to fire me for having alcohol and sht.

fun.

Geo how would you know what a drug trip feels like?

I used to use allot of "yellow jacket" type pills. Especially on the weekend when I would go out clubbing, and drink a ton. Had some pretty fun crazy nights, but my kidneys got their revenge a couple years ago. (Kidney stones hurt like a bitch)

So I try to stay away from pills, and just use a sobe in the morning to help me thru my workout.

I actually read a really good article about caffeine in the december edition of Muscle Fitness. It talks about how it helps with migraines, helps you to burn off fat while exercising, increases blood flow, and keeps your mind alert. Pretty interesting really. It even goes thru and explains the test that were done, when everyone started saying it is bad for you.
